Are You Synchronous? Complete Our Web Conferencing Survey by January 15, 2006

The 2005-2006 NASFAA Technology Initiatives Committee needs your help as it examines the uses of synchronous Web conferencing and other on-line communications by NASFAA Members. "Synchronous" conferencing involves real time (same time) communications with others, as distinct from "asynchronous" discussion forums and message boards, where individuals participate on their own schedule.

Please complete the survey below, indicating how you or other offices in your organization are using synchronous Web conferencing techniques. This information will be used by the Committee for its current projects involving an article for Student Aid Transcript on Web conferencing and an interest session at the 2006 NASFAA Conference in Seattle. At the end of the survey, we ask you to provide your name, organization, and e-mail address, so we can get in touch with you should we need to learn more about your use(s) of Web conferencing.

Click here to complete the survey. Thank you!
